Overview
Custom Smell Proof Mylar Bags from Mylar Bags NYC are made for licensed cannabis brands, dispensaries and cultivators that need packaging which protects freshness and sells on the shelf. We make every order to your size, print it in full color with your artwork, and choose a film structure that keeps your aromatic products fresh from fill to final use.
Orders start at just 100 units, so you can test a new flavor, strain or product without committing to a warehouse full of stock. Every order includes free artwork checks and a digital proof.
Packaging is part of the product. For aromatic products, the bag controls freshness, aroma and shelf life, and it's often the first thing a customer touches.

Finishes include matte, gloss and soft-touch lamination, spot gloss, metallic and holographic films, white ink underprinting on clear and foil films, and clear windows in custom shapes.
Design ideas
Ideas that work especially well for aromatic products:
- Use matte black for discretion.
- Print minimal branding.
- Add a compliance panel.
- Use heat seals for extra security.
Not sure where to start? Tell us what you're packing, the fill weight and where it's sold, and we'll recommend a size, film and finish in your free quote. Our most requested sizes for custom smell proof mylar bags are 1 gram (3 x 4 in), 3.5 gram (eighth) (4 x 6 in) and 7 gram (quarter) (5 x 8 in). Smaller sizes suit samples and trial packs, the middle size usually fits your core product, and larger sizes work for family packs, bulk and wholesale. Because density varies, we always recommend testing your actual fill before printing. Fill custom smell proof mylar bags through the top before sealing, leaving at least 1 inch above the zipper. For the strongest closure, use an impulse or band heat sealer set to the temperature recommended for your film. If you're using oxygen absorbers or desiccants, add them just before sealing, and store finished bags away from direct sunlight and heat.
Protection and performance
Flexible packaging has to protect against oxygen, moisture, light and punctures. For custom smell proof mylar bags, we usually recommend high-barrier films and heat-sealable, with a film thickness matched to the weight and shape of your aromatic products. Sharp or heavy products may need a thicker gauge; aromatic products need a high-barrier, smell-resistant structure. Tell us what you're packing and we'll suggest the right build. Cannabis packaging rules vary by state. Many states require certified child-resistant closures, opaque packaging, a universal THC symbol, warning statements and labels that don't appeal to children. We can supply child-resistant zippers and leave space for every required panel, but confirm your state's current rules with your compliance team before approving artwork.
- High-barrier films: blocks oxygen, moisture and light to extend shelf life.
- Heat-sealable: creates an airtight closure.
- Zipper closures: lets customers reopen and reseal the bag, keeping contents fresh.
Sustainable options
Sustainability is increasingly important to shoppers. Recyclable, compostable and kraft-look structures are available, and we can print a clear end-of-life message on every bag.
